Schizophrenic. Genius. Victim of State Apathy
RIP Vashishtha Narayan
Let’s collectively make sure we find our Vashishthas before mental disease does.
Genius walks on a a fine line between sanity and insanity.

A great mathematician legend from Bihar who worked for NASA in landing of first man on moon and also achieved breakthrough in mathematics died yesterday. Suffering from schizophrenia he left academics and returned to his village Bhojpur. No one was there to look after him. He just solve problems regularly and used to teach some poor kids. Although living in poor conditions, he never complained. No one came from any authority to atleast check on him.It just feels like he had been used and thrown . He died lying on a stretcher outside hospital. No ambulance or any service was provided by government . This is truly nadir of our society.
May his soul rest in peace. A true inspiration- Vashishtha Narayan singh
Okay so I guess I am abandoning trying to learn systems engineering and instead I’m just gonna focus on revising JS from scratch.
Relearning JS Php Python are gonna be my new focus points.
Should I include Ruby? Perl?
My long term intent is always to build a large scale scalable system that can reach a lot of people.
So Im just gonna stick to webdev.
(Sorry for being such a Wuss, I just don’t have the attention span right now to get into low level system.)

No one needs to starve. No one needs to freeze. No one needs to die. There is enough for everyone. More empty homes than all the people without them, more food than grocers can even sell. The labor and the materials to end scarcity exist now. It is not a far-off dream. We can end scarcity in this life.

@Full_marx Yeah, my memory was correct! :smile:
"Dennis Ritchie and Ken Thompson were the programmers at the Bell Labs computing and research department who worked on project MULTICS from start to end. Thompson found an old PDP-7 machine, and developed his own application programs and operating system from scratch, aided by Ritchie and others. This operating system was renamed UNIX.
In November 1971, the first version of UNIX was released along with a book called ‘The UNIX Programmers Manual’. This was the systematic development approach at that time – a product would be released with proper documentation so that researchers could read the manual and look at the OS details."
And from Wikipedia :
"Ken Thompson, a programmer in the Labs' computing research department, had worked on Multics. He decided to write his own operating system. While he still had access to the Multics environment, he wrote simulations for the new file and paging system[clarification needed] on it. He also programmed a game called Space Travel, but it needed a more efficient and less expensive machine to run on, and eventually he found a little-used Digital Equipment Corporation PDP-7 at Bell Labs.[4][5] On the PDP-7, in 1969, a team of Bell Labs researchers led by Thompson and Ritchie, including Rudd Canaday, implemented a hierarchical file system, the concepts of computer processes and device files, a command-line interpreter, and some small utility programs, modeled on the corresponding features in Multics, but simplified.[3] The resulting system, much smaller and simpler than Multics, was to become Unix. In about a month's time, in August 1969, Thompson had implemented a self-hosting operating system with an assembler, editor and shell, using a GECOS machine for bootstrapping.[6] "

I cam to mastodon, thinking I will be able to regulate myself better, not get addicted, have more control over the amount of time I waste on SM.
Instead I find myself spending hours researching topics to Shitpost.

Little FYI;
I am NOT earning ANYTHING from mstdn.social 😉 In fact it's the opposite, Every week I work about 40-50 hours for a company so I can earn money and pay for the servers, domain, media storage and email services and don't get me wrong. I'm VERY happy to do that ❤️ and I will NOT stop doing that for a long time!
We do get donations and that's a BIG help! But still I need to pay much from my own pocket so keep that in mind. We are not a company, we are not Twitter, we drive on #love! ❤️

🔸 The Profane story of India’s Rafale Deal :: An expose on the true behind the scenes events of the deal.🔸
🔸 The Profane story of India’s Rafale Deal.🔸
🛩️ 🛩️ 🛩️ 🛩️
India is in dire need of Jets. Out of the mandated 42 squadrons, the Indian Air Force (IAF) effectively has only 29. It is still making do with Mig-21s and Jaguars. Yes the same Jets that have been resigned to flight schools and museums. India doesn’t really spend much on defence. (But India shot down a Pakistani F-16 with a Modernised Mig-21, so atleast the pilots are in good shape.)
🛩️ 🛩️ 🛩️ 🛩️
The Rafale Deal with Dassault Aviation, was an effort to replenish the IAF’s depleting Inventory. But this deal did not happen in one set of talks, but two.
▪️ Round 1 2013
-----------------------------------
The first round of talks by Congress govt, was for 126 jets in 2012. This deal required Dassault to manufacture 108 Rafale in a Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) facility with Technology Transfer. The french didn’t like this. With a breath that stunk like foul cheese they said:
“Sacrebleu, Zis is Insaniteee, Je suis Desole, We khanot manufacture zis piece of art in your union riddled sweat shoppe. Mon Dieu. Take mee away fom zisss. ”
They said if they were to manufacture it at HAL, they would not give warranty.
This back and forth continued for sometime and three years passed. No deal, No jets. The cheese was in the curry, and people hated it.
▪️ Round 2 2016
-----------------------------------
Realising that the IAF, is now dangerously underarmed, Narendra Modi, the current Prime Minister did the unthinkable.
He flew to France on a Sukhoi M-30, and landed onto a french chateau, where a grand orgy of French generals and Government officials was taking place. He barged inside and saw that the French were screwing each other, while eating rotten cheese and drinking wine. They barely noticed him.
Until. Narendra Modi unzipped .. and pulled something HUGE out.
There was pindrop silence in the room. You could hear a few wine glasses shattering and some blocks of cheese hitting the floor with a thud. “Mon Dieu” . They saw something. And they all wanted a piece of it. It looked big and sure to cause some pain, but they were up for it.
Out from his just freshly unzipped dossier was a new deal.
The new deal demanded only 36 French Manufactured Rafales with heavy customisations for India, delivery to start within 2 years, a weapons package and a performance logistics system.
It had a slew of offsets that mandated that 50% of the deal amount will have to be spent in India. It should be used to manufacture/purchase defence equipment, and be invested in Research at DRDO(India).
(The vehicle for this offset was a private partnership with Mukaesh Ambani’s Reliance Defence. It was called Dassault Reliance Aerospace Limited (DRAL). This entity arose after due legal process, tendering, bidding, market analysis etc.)
The french loved the deal and gave their approval by holding hands and having a weak synchronised tantric orgasm.
The Italian Rahul Gandhi saw photos of the event: Modi with naked french people and he burned with Jealousy. “So what if my shotgun is sawed off a little too much. Thats no reason to keep me out” he said. He vowed to take revenge for not being Invited and malign Modi with frivolous law suits.
🛩️ 🛩️ 🛩️ 🛩️
I will soon post about how the media tried to distort the financials of the deal.
Stay tuned and Boost if you liked it.
Hope the French users don't rile up a storm coz of my crass, unfunny humour.

Lenin: Socialists must centre their activity on the struggle against reformism, which has always corrupted the revolutionary labour movement by injecting bourgeois ideas. https://protestationblog.wordpress.com/quotes3/#quotenr4142
You know the liberals are impeding India's progress, when they force the government to spend time and money to defend an honest defence deal.
Left Political parties notably the Indian National Congress @Incindia were riddled with corruption and criminally tried.
From Bofors Guns to Coal mines to Wireless Spectrum.
The only thing they liberally did was fill their pockets with taxpayer money.
We welcome the supreme court judgement absolving the Modi Govt of all false charges in the Rafale Deal.
But why did the Supreme Court not punish Rahul Gandhi? Especially when it itself declared that RG's petition was frivolous and intended to malign, while serving no real purpose.
SC should have set an example out of him, why was he spared? Because he is from the Gandhi Familly?

On a day when air quality reaches unprecedented lows and schools are closed an NGO makes children run on Delhi roads to mark its 30 years! 😤😡
